In March 1925, the American Law Institute (ALI) started the Code of Criminal Procedure project. The resulting volume attempted
to provide a framework for effective administration of criminal law while maintaining protection for the rights of the accused.
The collection, circa 1925-1959, includes drafts, correspondence, minutes, and other materials related to the drafting of
the code, which outlined procedures for carrying out criminal law and defined the rights of the accused in areas such as arrest,
bail, and execution.
